-# Vue 3 + TypeScript + Vite
+# Frontend POC - F3 Phaser Demo
 
-This template should help get you started developing with Vue 3 and TypeScript in Vite. The template uses Vue 3 `<script setup>` SFCs, check out the [script setup docs](https://v3.vuejs.org/api/sfc-script-setup.html#sfc-script-setup) to learn more.
+This is a proof-of-concept implementation of the Mantimon TCG frontend through Phase F3 (Phaser Integration). It demonstrates Vue 3 + Phaser 3 integration with real card data.
 
-Learn more about the recommended Project Setup and IDE Support in the [Vue Docs TypeScript Guide](https://vuejs.org/guide/typescript/overview.html#project-setup).
+## What This POC Demonstrates
+
+- **Vue-Phaser Integration**: Bidirectional communication between Vue components and Phaser scenes
+- **Card Rendering**: Real card images with type-colored borders and damage counters
+- **State Synchronization**: Game state flows from Vue to Phaser via the gameBridge
+- **Interactive Cards**: Click and hover events propagate from Phaser back to Vue
+
+## Running the Demo
+
+```bash
+cd .claude/frontend-poc
+npm install
+npm run dev
+```
+
+Navigate to `/demo` after logging in (requires auth).
+
+## Key Lessons Learned
+
+### 1. Scene Initialization Timing
+
+**Problem**: PhaserGame.vue was calling `createGame(container)` without passing scenes, resulting in an empty canvas.
+
+**Solution**: Import and pass the scenes array:
+```typescript
+import { createGame, scenes } from '@/game'
+game.value = createGame(container.value, scenes)
+```
+
+**File**: `src/components/game/PhaserGame.vue`
+
+### 2. Event Bridge Timing (Critical)
+
+**Problem**: DemoPage listened for PhaserGame's Vue `ready` event (Phaser core ready), but this fires BEFORE MatchScene's `create()` runs. When state was sent, MatchScene hadn't subscribed to events yet.
+
+**Solution**: Listen for the gameBridge's `ready` event instead, which MatchScene emits at the END of `create()` after subscribing to events:
+
+```typescript
+// WRONG - fires too early
+function handlePhaserReady(game: Phaser.Game): void {
+  emitToBridge('state:updated', gameState.value) // MatchScene not ready!
+}
+
+// CORRECT - wait for MatchScene
+onMounted(() => {
+  onBridgeEvent('ready', handleSceneReady)
+})
+
+function handleSceneReady(): void {
+  emitToBridge('state:updated', gameState.value) // MatchScene is subscribed
+}
+```
+
+**Files**: `src/pages/DemoPage.vue`, `src/game/scenes/MatchScene.ts`
+
+### 3. Card Image Loading
+
+**Problem**: Card definitions have `image_path` field (e.g., `"a1/094-pikachu.webp"`) but the loader was constructing paths from `set_id` and `set_number`.
+
+**Solution**: Add `loadCardImageFromPath()` function that uses `image_path` directly:
+
+```typescript
+// Card.ts - prefer image_path
+if (this.cardDefinition.image_path) {
+  loadedKey = await loadCardImageFromPath(
+    this.scene,
+    textureKey,
+    this.cardDefinition.image_path
+  )
+}
+```
+
+**Files**: `src/game/assets/loader.ts`, `src/game/objects/Card.ts`
+
+### 4. Asset Base URL
+
+Card images are served from `/game/cards/{image_path}`:
+- Card back: `/game/cards/card_back.webp`
+- Pokemon: `/game/cards/a1/094-pikachu.webp`
+- Energy: `/game/cards/basic/lightning.webp`
+
+**File**: `src/game/assets/manifest.ts` (`ASSET_BASE_URL = '/game'`)
+
+## Layout Issues (For Phase F4)
+
+The demo revealed several layout issues that need fixing:
+
+1. **Opponent cards upside down** - Rotation not applied correctly for opponent's side
+2. **Cards overlapping in zones** - Zone arrangement logic needs work
+3. **Hand cards cut off** - Hand zone extends beyond viewport
+4. **Zone positioning** - Active/bench/pile positions need adjustment
+5. **Card sizes** - May need responsive sizing based on viewport
+
+## Architecture Overview
+
+```
+Vue Component (DemoPage/GamePage)
+    |
+    | emits 'state:updated'
+    v
+gameBridge (mitt event emitter)
+    |
+    | subscribed in create()
+    v
+MatchScene (Phaser Scene)
+    |
+    | delegates rendering
+    v
+StateRenderer
+    |
+    | creates/updates
+    v
+Zone objects (ActiveZone, BenchZone, HandZone, etc.)
+    |
+    | contain
+    v
+Card objects (with image loading, damage counters)
+```
+
+### Key Files
+
+| File | Purpose |
+|------|---------|
+| `src/game/bridge.ts` | GameBridge class - typed event emitter for Vue-Phaser communication |
+| `src/composables/useGameBridge.ts` | Vue composable with auto-cleanup |
+| `src/game/scenes/MatchScene.ts` | Main Phaser scene - subscribes to bridge events |
+| `src/game/sync/StateRenderer.ts` | Converts VisibleGameState to Phaser objects |
+| `src/game/objects/Card.ts` | Card game object with image loading |
+| `src/game/objects/Zone.ts` | Base zone class for card containers |
+| `src/game/layout.ts` | Board layout calculations |
+
+## State Flow
+
+1. **Vue initializes state** (mockGameState.ts or from WebSocket)
+2. **Vue emits to bridge**: `emitToBridge('state:updated', gameState)`
+3. **MatchScene receives**: Handler calls `stateRenderer.render(state)`
+4. **StateRenderer processes**:
+   - Creates zones if needed
+   - Updates zone positions from layout
+   - Creates/updates Card objects from state
+   - Sets cards face-up/face-down based on visibility
+5. **User interacts with card** (click/hover in Phaser)
+6. **Card emits to bridge**: `gameBridge.emit('card:clicked', {...})`
+7. **Vue receives**: Handler updates UI (selected card, etc.)
+
+## Type Definitions
+
+Key types are in `src/types/game.ts`:
+
+```typescript
+interface VisibleGameState {
+  game_id: string
+  viewer_id: string
+  players: Record<string, VisiblePlayerState>
+  card_registry: Record<string, CardDefinition>
+  phase: TurnPhase
+  is_my_turn: boolean
+  // ...
+}
+
+interface CardDefinition {
+  id: string
+  name: string
+  card_type: 'pokemon' | 'trainer' | 'energy'
+  image_path?: string  // Added for image loading
+  // ...
+}
+
+interface CardInstance {
+  instance_id: string
+  definition_id: string
+  damage: number
+  attached_energy: CardInstance[]
+  // ...
+}
+```
+
+## Testing the Demo
+
+The demo page (`/demo`) provides:
+
+- **Debug Panel**: Shows zone counts, game state, selected card
+- **Controls**:
+  - Next Phase - cycles through turn phases
+  - Toggle Turn - switches between player/opponent turn
+  - +10 Damage buttons - adds damage to active Pokemon
+  - Reset State - returns to initial state
+
+## What's NOT in This POC
+
+- Real WebSocket connection (uses mock state)
+- Game actions (play card, attack, etc.)
+- Animations for card movement
+- Proper responsive scaling
+- Prize card reveal
+- Stadium cards
+- Energy attachment display on cards
+
+## Recommendations for True Game Page
+
+1. **Keep the bridge pattern** - It works well for decoupling Vue and Phaser
+2. **Fix layout before adding features** - Get zone positions right first
+3. **Add animation system** - Cards should animate when moving between zones
+4. **Implement action validation UI** - Highlight valid targets before confirming
+5. **Consider zone click handling** - For dropping cards, not just card clicks
+6. **Test on mobile early** - Touch targets and scaling will need tuning
